ť Do your martini-style studs sag?

Do your martini-style studs sag?

drk Ideal Rock Total Posts: 600 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 3/15/2005	I'm debating between the martini and traditional settings. Would prefer something set really close to the ear, so I'm tending towards the martini style. Diamonds will be small, about 0.3ct each. Would anyone recommend the 3/4prong regular setting instead to prevent sagging? Drk

The martini setting is a really pretty look and all I see is diamond! ------------------------------ Changed my name from mmeowcollins to Logan Sapphire.

They do not sag at all whereas the regular 3-4 prong basket set earrings I have do sag. The martini seems to go into the hole a little bit which helps it look like it is set into the ear and reduces sagging. Another bonus with the martini is all you see is diamond which is really good for the smaller studs like mine and the size you are considering. Get the martini--you'll be happy!

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,901 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	I have found exactly the same as ID...my old basket prongs would sag and I hated how they looked. My 3 prong martinis lay right against my ear and in fact look bigger and better because of how they look as though they are sitting right on the ear. My stones are .38c each. I LOVE the 3 prong martini and can't believe I ever wasted saggy ear time on 4 prong baskets! ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

Petunia Rough Rock Total Posts: 56 Last Post: 12/28/2008 Member Since: 6/10/2003	drk, After reading various posts about earrings and sagging, I opted for the martini setting for my first pair of diamond earrings. Good news is they don't sag ;) .75 ct in each ear. Helen

jennysue Rough Rock Total Posts: 16 Last Post: 5/18/2005 Member Since: 4/2/2004	I also have the 3 prong martini style earrings, roughly .81 in each ear. Mara probably described it best when she said they sit right against the ear and it does make them look larger! No sagging here

I love bezels. What do you all think about bezels re saggging and light rtn? I'm thinking 1.50tcw.. A
